The article suggests that readers should strive to be owners rather than tenants in the processes they engage with.
The author believes that the act of creation in the context of processes is more valuable than trust in established but opaque systems.

Create it

I don’t trust this phrase.

Trust a process I don’t even know? How?

It’s not Tom Cruise or Ironman for me to trust it.

But you know what trusting the process makes you? A tenant.

You don’t know the details.

You willingly subject yourself to a process that you neither know nor understand.

You don’t prime your senses to feedback by trusting the process.

But when you create it, there’s a mindshift difference.

What you create, you own. Ownership makes you dig for the details.

Owning the process makes you accountable. To yourself and those you take along with you.

Accountability and ownership make you a decision-maker rather than a subject. It makes you an owner rather than a tenant.

Which one would you rather be?

Don’t trust the process.

Create it.
